Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 367 Monsters and Heroes

Tingling.

When the needle-like warmth spread across his cheeks, Electro's mind was completely blank.

And when his almost rusty mind finally started functioning again, all he heard was a sigh filled with helplessness:

"Honestly, whether it's comics or novels, sometimes in order to create conflict and evoke emotions, they often make things that are not complicated in the first place extremely complicated."

"..."

"Just like you guys, you have a bunch of random thoughts in your head, but when it comes to actually drawing conclusions, you like to play the game of complete denial and make a one-size-fits-all approach to lazy governance."

Honestly, just thinking about this gives You Ming a headache.

Well, how to say it?

"Can't you come up with something a little more original?"

"..."

Okay, maybe I really shouldn't have kept making those sarcastic remarks.

Just looking at the seemingly mindless old man, Yu Ming simply scratched the back of his head.

"I don't mean to deny anything, it's just that setbacks and failures shouldn't lead to a complete negation of past efforts, it's just..."

'boom'

Suddenly, a tremor struck, and after a period of commotion, a huge shadow appeared on the monitoring screen.

"Kai-beast..."

'Drip drip'

'Drip drip'

Just as the alarm sounded, the innermost room, which had been tightly closed, was completely opened.

"There's a 'Kaizu'! That Radian alien has made his move again!"

The little boy shouted loudly.

But now, his hoarse voice and bloodshot eyes testify to his sorrow.

But even so...

"We have to find a way to stop these evil beasts, otherwise... otherwise many people will die."

He didn't have any other extraneous thoughts; kids his age obviously wouldn't think about so many things like Old Man Electric.

It is precisely because of this...

"His thinking is much purer than yours, Electro."

"..."

At that moment, the former hero seemed to be moved.

A glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, which had long been cloudy and seemed to be shrouded in gloom. He seemed to want to say something, but his moving lips ultimately failed to utter a sound.

"Grandpa Spark."

The boy seemed to want to say something, but looking at the old man's confused and tired face, he finally gritted his teeth and said nothing:
"It's okay, I can manage even if I'm all by myself!"

'boom'

He pushed open the door to the secret base and rushed out.

Watching this scene, You Ming couldn't help but sigh:

"Come to think of it, I don't seem to know this child's name?"

"...His name is Kid."

The old man said in a low voice.

“This child lost his parents, and I found him in a small alley.”

"I see, no wonder he admires 'heroes' so much."

Although Old Man Deng kept being stubborn, he actually did everything he was supposed to do.

When "Multidimensional Kaibun-Radian" appeared before, he also tried to launch a giant battle against "Neocosmos".

As for now...

"Are you still planning to fight?"

"..."

The old man didn't speak, but his aged arms gripped the armrests of the chair tightly.

Looking at the bewildered look on the old man's face, he finally reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Sometimes, thinking too much is a burden. It's better to think carefully about why you chose this path in the first place."

At this point, the duelist turned and left.

Now that the little boy named Kidd has run away, Yu Ming certainly can't continue to sit in the sewers with Old Deng, lost in thought.

"But then again, people always tend to embellish their own actions unintentionally. How can you guarantee that his previous stories weren't exaggerated?"

Looking at the girl in the dress who had suddenly spoken, You Ming couldn't help but scratch the back of his head.

"Are you saying that this 'Electric Man' isn't as selfless as he claims to be?"

"Yep."

"...Then I can only say that I'm willing to believe that."

After all, he is still fighting now.

After all, he still tried his best to find a way.

after all……

He is a "hero."

"Neos, go help that child."

In the final secret base, the old man slowly spoke:
"If it were him now, he would be able to bring out your strength even more than I have."

"But what about you?"

In response to the question posed by the silver phantom, the old man simply walked slowly to the location of the hidden door.

Looking inside at the hero's uniform he hadn't worn in a long time, he took a deep breath:
"I have another identity."

…………

On the other side, when the boy finally emerged from the sewers onto the surface, he was met with chaos once again.

Beneath a shadow large enough to cover the entire city, when the boy finally looked up, he saw a gigantic monster with three heads.

With the flapping of its wings, a fierce lightning laser beam...

"What...what exactly is that?"

"Its name is 'Thunder Dragon King'."

Just as the boy was feeling helpless, a strangely reassuring voice came from behind him.

Then, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"The creature is described as a ferocious monster from outside the universe."

Looking back, he saw a smile beneath those pale bangs:

"As far as the prototype is concerned, it is still quite popular (King Ghidorah)."

To be honest, the boy didn't understand what he was saying.

He didn't understand anything about popularity or real-life inspiration, but he understood at least one thing:
"Since you know about these evil beasts, do you know how to defeat them?"

Are you sure you only want the method?

He was clearly a smart boy, and in that instant, You Ming could see a flicker of interest in the boy's face.

But in the end, he shook his head:
"Big brother, you will eventually leave this place, so I must find a way to protect our city myself."

"I must say, this is a very good realization..."

Clearly, this boy already possesses the qualities to become a "hero".

"Unfortunately, the 'Thunder Dragon King,' as a villain, doesn't have any particularly obvious weaknesses in its design. It can traverse the universe using only its physical body, without needing oxygen or other elements; its massive body alone can maintain its internal ecological cycle."

"Then... how exactly can we defeat it?"

"It's very simple, rely on strength."

"What power?"

'boom'

Before the boy's voice had completely faded, another roar rang out.

Before anyone knew it, the pale firelight had covered the city's rooftops, forming a protective barrier that kept out the thunder and hurricane.

Directly above, the giant dragon with a single, scarlet eye roared to the sky, then charged forward with a self-sacrificing ram, knocking the three-headed monster away.

"this is……"

"Was the monster movie good?"
